This is one of my older paintings. I decided to post it because of how I did it :). I learned a lot from this painting. To do the highlights on the mare and colt, I painted a thick layer of white. Let it dry, and then I glazed transparent colors over the top. So when the light hits it, it goes through the colors - hits the white - and bounces back. It kind of takes on a life of its own - in fact, when I took it to an art show I watched people move the painting to look behind it.......... they thought I had put some lights behind the frame to make it glow. hahaha

Beautiful, how the light embraces them. And a very creative way to make use of the mediums' boundless potentials.

Thank you :). I have used that method in several paintings - but with this one it was definitely the most successful. I am pretty sure that the paintings I have seen of street scenes at dusk where the lamps seem to glow were done this way :D

I've never tried all-white underpainting, only cadmium yellow, which brings forth tremendous luminosity :)

That's quite a technique, it will surely make someone say, "how in the world did she do that?"

LOL - he had a white butt. I had a friend tell me one time that I seem to have a thing for painting horses asses. :S I told him that seems to be my biggest problem with life in general :)
